Colors of December, 2014

A month of holidays, anniversaries and birthdays.  A month of celebrations in the midst of bare trees and many grey skies.  Solstice lights, hanukkah candles, tree lights brighten the darkness, thankfully.  Gift giving reminds us of the pleasure in sharing a meal, an evening, an adventure.

December shines with its own warmth even as the season turns colder.  Thank you, dear December, for these days of painting.
